Answer

$16,968$

Work Step by Step

$9382$ + $7586$
Start at the right of each number
Add the ones digits
$2$ + $6$ = $8$ ones
Write the 8 ones in the ones column.
Add the tens digits next.
$8$ + $8$ = $16$ tens
Regroup the 16 tens as 1 hundred and 6 tens
Write the 6 tens in the tens column.
Write the 1 hundred in the hundreds column.
Add the hundreds digits next including the regrouped 1.
$1$ + $3$ + $5$ = $9$ hundreds
Write the 9 hundreds in the hundreds column.
Add the thousands digits next.
$9$ + $7$ = $16$ thousands.
Regroup the 16 thousands as 1 ten-thousand and 6 thousands.
Write the 6 thousand in the thousands column.
Write the 1 ten-thousand in the ten-thousand column.
Add the ten-thousands digits next which is the regrouped 1.
1 ten-thousand
Separate each group of three digits with a comma.
The sum of the two numbers is $16,968$.
